i use a reverse clean grip for front squats... a bit different, but i feel it pulls the bar into your chest better than the more commonly used grips...

I cross my arms but to prevent the bar from rolling what I do is raise my elbows up as I squat down. For me the clean hand position is very uncomfortable and painful on the wrists.

This is how I front squat as well. Clean grip hurts my wrists something fierce. I might have to try the reverse clean grip Moya mentioned. Also I can't bring up my elbows enough on regular clean it seems, my arms seem to bulgy or something. I need to work on my flexibility probably.

Very interested in what zedhed is describing . Clean grip kills my wrists and arm crossed is ok but my collar bone gets really sore and bruised . :/ and after reading all the opinions on leg extensions I'd rather stick to squats lol

I do the reverse clean grip like Moya is talking about. The weights stays in place for me very well!

Oh another note...started feeling terrible last night and woke up this morning to a swollen lymph nodes, can't swallow, horrible pain in my throat, and what seems like an ear infection!! So I didn't make it today for chest and tris :-(! Of course I have to be at work in the elements and feel like shit!!! This sucks balls!!

Humm believe I will experiment around with the reverse grip and using straps then. Hope you start feeling better Brittany

One other grip that I have used and like is to grip the bar just like your gonna do curls. For me I keep my hands inside of my shoulders for this one. But still prefer the straps method. I think its better for elbows and wrists overall for me.

Going good but terrible over here! At the doctor right now!! Current goals are to gain a little more muscle and cut up mainly!
